Sky today unveils an early first look at award-winning, critically acclaimed Sky Original drama Das Boot, as filming wraps on the fourth series of the atmospheric wartime epic.
In the new series, the brutal submarine war in the Mediterranean Sea comes to a head, while intrigues and secrets spread through Berlin. Resistance to the Nazis grows within the Kriegsmarine's own ranks. After a shared tragedy, the siblings Klaus (Rick Okon) and Hannie Hoffmann (Rosalie Thomass) find their way back to each other. Both fight for their cause. Klaus has returned to the German Reich from Portugal. As a submarine commander he travels to Naples on a secret mission to change the course of the war. Hannie wants to help the many orphans who have become victims of the war and uncovers infamous machinations of the Nazi Reich.
Produced by Bavaria Fiction for Sky Studios and directed by Dennis Gansel (The Wave, Mechanic – Resurrection), the high-octane six part series sees returning cast Rick Okon (Tatort), Franz Dinda (The Cloud), Florian Panzner (Dark), Anna Schudt (The Sniffles Would Have Been Just Fine), Pierre Kiwitt (Lobos sucios), Johann von Bülow (Furia), Rainer Bock (Better Call Saul) and Ernst Stötzner (Brecht) joined by new stars Rosalie Thomass (The Kangaroo Chronicles), Wilson Gonzales Ochsenknecht (Enfant Terrible), Lara Mandoki (Leberkäsjunkie), Marco Leonardi (Cinema Paradiso), Steffan Rhodri (Temple), Benjamin Dilloway (Dune), Stefan Murr (The Ibiza Affair), Joshua Collins (What's Love Got to Do with It?) and Sascha Geršak (Gladbeck). Director of photography is Carlo Jelavic (Blood Red Sky).
Das Boot Series 4 is scripted by head writers Colin Teevan, Tony Saint and staff writer Judith Angerbauer. Petra Albert, who was awarded with the German TV Award earlier this month, is the set designer. Executive producers are Marcus Ammon, Jan S. Kaiser, Fabian Wolfart and Nina Maag from Bavaria Fiction, along with Sky Deutschland’s Nils Hartmann and Frank Jastfelder and Sky Studios’ Jason Simms. Julia Jaensch (Sky), Caroline Fischer and Judith Niemeyer (Bavaria Fiction) act as producers, Sebastian Rybing as line producer.
